Squeezing a blog into the day

Like I have time for blogging. Here's a run down of today.
6:30 - wake up, get breakfast, do computer 'tasks'
7:00 - Natalie comes out dressed and ready to eat. Super compliant today, yay.
7:30 - Jacob is up. At this point I strip the sheets on all 3 bed, dress him, get him food and start laundry. Remake beds with clean sheets. Put laundry in dryer and start washing diapers (cuz I only have one more left...oops).
8:15 - Let dog out and get kids moving towards shoes and the door to get N to preschool. Pull out at 8:30, drop N off and successfully pay the last tuition payment for the year!!!
9:00 - Start hour long body pump class. After a week off I did less weight and still am sore tonight.
10:15 - Leave the gym for quick Walmart trip to get snack stuff for Bunco, Wednesday pre-K, Thursday playdate and sewing supplies.
10:45 - Pick up Natalie and mail 2 packages at the post office
11:00 - Stop at Whitney's house and go over her 'vision' for her twins room. Look at paints, fabrics, etc online.
11:45 - Take whiny kids home for lunch. While feeding them lunch I switch laundry again. Do more computer tasks, start the dishwasher, dust and vacuum bedroom end of the house so I can put him down for a nap.
12:15 - Jacob is asleep. Natalie and I finish the upstairs chores. She loves dusting the keys on the piano and the baseboards. I vacuum the rest of the upstairs and put Solid Gold on all my wood furniture (not the living room...going to sand and paint it may as well leave it dry and old).
1:15 - cram in a bagel and coffee while designing embroidery designs and ordering more fabric and managing Quickbooks.
1:30 - make a coupon binder. Go to get the mail around 3 (thankfully Jacob is still napping) and get a shirt to embroidery. Knock that out before he gets up.
4:00 - Kids eat a snack, put more orders and checks into Quickbooks, sort mail, post pics of customer orders on Facebook, open/sort mail, order new bedding with great discount (YAY, thanks MOM). Sometime during the chaos Ryan comes in and I beg him to take the kids to dance so I can finish up, shower and go to bunco.
5:00 - finally get in the shower after setting the oven to cook nuggets and fries to be ready when Ryan gets home at 6 with the kids. Showered, dressed, and hair dryed (and lip gloss/mascara too!!) by 5:15. While checking e-mail and making a Walmart list.
5:20 - grab 3 deliveres of k. mae to take to Bunco, 2 pacakges to mail, checks to deposit, 2 tupperware full of chocolate chip cookies filled with frosting (did I forget to mention I made those sometime during the lunch area of the day - cooked 48 cookies in 10 minutes with my convection oven and convection microwave). Manage to make it to the post office, the bank, Starbucks and Walmart before getting to bunco at 6:25, 5 minutes early! I won the prize for biggest loser too!
8:30 - got home, enter checks and orders into Quickbooks, order more fabric, balance checkbooks, talk to Ryan, file recipts, add a gift card to my Starbucks account...and BLOG.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store. HA HA!

Yes the lip gloss and mascara was fully noted when I ran into you at walmart getting snacks!!! Thought to myself....how the heck does Kim have time to be productive and look so cute while I am in jog pants, a sweatshirt, greasy hair covered up by a quick blow of dry shampoo before running to walmart and no makeup because of my poison ivy!!!;)

Oh Katy - today was one of those rare days! And that's because I got to shower ALONE with no kids in the house so I had a *little* more time to get ready!

I don't understand how you get that much done! But you are so much more organized and driven than I am.
